Chapter 378: Under the command of the city lord
"Come, let's talk. Seeing that you like the food in Yanjing Tower so much, you must also be from Beijing?" the second uncle asked after sitting down.
"Yes, I grew up in the north, but these days I have been out of the country. When I saw the authentic hometown flavor last night, I couldn't help but have a great appetite and feast. ”
And so it was. Looks like we're fellow countrymen. The second uncle continued to be close, and at the same time, he spit out to the foodie in front of him in his heart: "You seem to be able to feast on any meal, right? Those meals this morning are not the flavor of Beijing." ”
"Second uncle, I am a junior, I also call you second uncle, since you are from Beijing, how did you take root here?" Chen Yucheng really wanted to know the story of Lu Dao here.
"Okay, you can call me second uncle, I'm welcome. What comes here for what is here, and what is here to take root, this should be said from two aspects. It's also a long story. The second uncle has a fate with you, so I will tell you about the ancient times today. ”
Then he told the strategic policy of the fallen leaf blossom family of the fallen family, and at the same time, interspersed with the major changes of the country invaded by foreign races, so that the ancestors of the fallen family migrated here, until his generation.
Then he also talked about how generations have overcome difficulties, stood firm, survived, and developed since they came here. It's really thrilling, thrilling, and if you're not careful, you'll never recover. Not to mention making a big mistake, even if the strength is slightly weakened, it will also be swarmed up by the enemies around who are constantly watching, and they will be divided and eaten.
Cheng Yucheng couldn't help but be in awe when he heard this. He picked up a cup of tea and held it in both hands: "Second uncle." Please accept my respect for you and your ancestors!"
After drinking, I sat down, and my mood still couldn't be calm.
When he came, Mai Ke had already briefly explained to him the reason and purpose of this expedition to Annan. Isn't the purpose of this expedition to rescue these oppressed compatriots? Isn't the ultimate goal of this expedition to eliminate those major factors that may harm our compatriots?
And if you want to say that you are most eager to do something, it belongs to these overseas Chinese who have been working for many years, and those who want to completely solve the problem are also these compatriots who have taken root and blossomed here.
In that case, our goals are the same! We don't need to conflict! As for who governs this city. As long as it is in the hands of the Huahan people, it is really not a big problem, or even a problem!
When the second uncle mentioned these past events, he was also excited. Tiger wolf mass. Survival is already very difficult. Not to mention that it can grow and develop. Pull out the teeth of the tiger and capture a medium-sized city.
And the city, its importance. It's really not about the size of the scale. The point is that the city's location is critical. If the city is blocked, the traffic between the north and south of Annam will be cut off, and the two sides will be connected, unless you take the sea route or take a detour from the old vortex. It's not simply a matter of multiplying the journey several times.
Therefore, it is located in the north and south, and it is a place where soldiers of all dynasties must fight. This state will remain in place until the sea route is fully exploited and utilized.
In other words, the ancestors of the Locke family, with a keen strategic vision, had already laid a foundation for the goals of today's expeditionary force. It is a great merit, and even from the standpoint of the expeditionary force, it must be affirmed and rewarded.
The question is how to change the current state of opposition into cooperation, or even merge the two into one.
Chen immediately realized that he was in a very critical position: he was the best person to make this transformation happen.
So, while continuing the dialogue with his second uncle, he asked Mai Ke for instructions, asking for permission for him to reveal the plans and objectives of the expeditionary force during the dialogue, and strive to reach cooperation, and even merge with the expeditionary force.
Mai Ke has been closely following the progress here, mainly concerned about Chen Yucheng's life. He believes that with Brother Eleven's ability and general martial arts dialogue, Brother Eleven can cope with Yuru, but the problem is that he doesn't know what evil moves, crooked moves, and secret moves come from, and it is estimated that Brother Eleven will be difficult to preserve.
In the conversation with the second uncle, Mai Ke also followed closely throughout the whole process, and Mai Ke was even more cautious in dealing with these old and mature characters. However, he is more assured that these older generations are more cautious in their work, thoughtful in their considerations, and will not act recklessly.
Up to now, he also admires the history of the second uncle's family's arduous struggle, and has earned a piece of his own. Such a person, let alone being a city lord, is a good emperor when he is an emperor.
So the eleventh brother asked, Mai Ke immediately agreed, and authorized him to be flexible, no matter what conditions he agreed, he had Mai Ke's full support.
The ensuing conversation turned into a chat between friends, and the second uncle also liked Chen Yucheng more and more, feeling that this young man was far better than any young man he had ever seen in terms of mind and knowledge, and better than most middle-aged and elderly people.
is even stronger than his niece, the current city lord Luo Qingfeng. Then, a thought gathered more and more strongly in his heart: This child is really a good match for Qingfeng!
With this thought in mind, the topic turned to another side, family background, age, marital status, and how many children they all asked clearly.
Chen Yucheng replied respectfully, but at the same time he was depressed: What's the matter, the same question was asked twice a day? He actually didn't remember clearly: the last time Cailuan asked him, he didn't ask about his marital status.
After asking all these questions clearly, the second uncle officially extended an olive branch to him, saying that Rong City still lacked a deputy city lord, and asked him if he was willing to bow down.
Speaking of this, Cheng Yucheng of course couldn't refuse, so he simply said that he was willing to serve and make a little contribution to the safety and development of the local Chinese.
The second uncle was overjoyed at the moment, and while calling someone to invite the city lord over, he explained the current situation. It is said that the most urgent task is to repel those enemies who do not know where they come from, which is not only very powerful, but also very tenacious.
Cheng Yucheng heard this, and said with a smile: "The little nephew is not talented, and he is willing to solve this problem as a gift of the audience, so that the two families can turn their rivalry into jade silk and seek common development." What do you think?"
The second uncle's eyes widened, with a look of disbelief, and he said in surprise: "Can you really do it?"
"I don't dare to say 100 percent, 90 percent there is. Chen Yucheng said as conservatively as possible. He knew in his heart that there was no doubt about it, absolutely 100 percent.
Mai Ke's style of acting, he is also very clear, he spares no effort to do things for the Chinese, and what he gives is definitely greater than what he wants. Of course, within the limits of reason.
"How sure?" a voice floated in. (To be continued......)
